How to Register
Registration is done through team registration. Teams are registered as parishes and compete against other parishes throughout the season. Registered parish parishioners must make up at least 60% of the team's roster.
*Don't have enough players from your parish to form a team? No worries! You can also team up with other parishes to form a combined team. Or, contact Tim Messenger at [email protected] for assistance in finding another parish(s) to combine with.
Deadline to register a team is May 26th!

No Parish Team? Looking to sign up as an individual?
Team registration is strongly preferred. However, if there is a teen who would like to play but their parish is unable to field a team, we can help. For the first time, we will be offering a central Diocesan team for youth who do not have a parish participating in the league. This option is only for players who do not have the opportunity to sign up through their parish. If their parish has a team, players should sign up through their parish's team.
For more information or to do an individual sign up, click here!
Players are also welcome to sign up with another parish's team if their parish is not participating.
